You told us once that hunters of seals
sometimes managed to draw close to
their game by whistling tunes to engage
their attention. And now 1 have just
read about sportsman who, one day, in
the woods, sat very still and began whist
ling to red squirrel on near tree.
"In a twinkling," says he, "the little
fellow sat up, leaned his head to one side
and listened. A moment after he had
scrambled down the trunk, and when
within few yards, he sat up and listened
again. Pretty soon he jumped upon the
pile of rails on which was, came within
four feet of me, sat up, made. an UNI
brella of his bushy tail and looked
straight at me, his little eyes beaming
with pleasure. Then I changed the tune,
and chut! away he skipped. But before
long he came back to his seat on the
rails, and as I watched him, it actually
seemed as though he were trying to
pucker up his mouth to whistle. chang
ed the tune again, but this time he look
ed 80 funny as he scampered off that
burst out laughing, and he never came
back any more"
Now that man had much more enjoy
ment out of his music. loving squirrel
than if he had shot him, and perhaps
after this you will hear the boys OF your
neighborhood piling up rails to sit on,
and whistling to the squirrels who come
to talk with you. And if they don't
whistle well enough, send for me, for
can whistle nicely if am girl.-St.
Nicholas.

ODD ANTICS OF BIRDS.

A relative of mine has large marsh
upon bis estate, and here the great cranes
made their summer home, building their
curious nests there and rearing their
young The marsh was surrounded by
high grass, and it was his practice to
creep through and watch the birds un-
observed. The antics they went through
would be impossible to describe, says a
correspondent OF the San Francisco Call.
Now they would caper along in pairs,
stepping daintily with the winning gait
of the ideal exquisite, lifting their feath-
ers or wings, taking short steps and grad
ually working themselves up to bird
frenzy OF excitement, when they would
leap into the air and over each others
backs, taking short runs this way and
that, all for the edification of the females
standing by, and finally, after series Of
these exhibitions, the different birds Sc
lected their mates. Among the birds of the
western hemisphere the cock the rock
ranks next to the crane in the strange
ness Of its evolutions. The bird is con-
fined to South America, and is about the
size of small pigeon; has bright orange
web in the male, with a plume like ar
rangement upon the head. 1t Ii proud
bird, principally building its nest in
rocky places not frequented by man. At
the commencement of the breeding sea-
son party of birds, numbering from
ten to twenty, assemble, and selecting
clear space among the rocks, form q
ring or circle, facing inward. Now q
small bird takes its place in the center
and begins to hop about, toss it's head,
lift its wings, and go through all the
strange movements possible, that appear
to be watched with great interest by the
rest. When the performer is thoroughly
exhausted he retires to the circle and
another bird enters the ring, and SO on
until all have been through their PAGES,
when the pairs probably make their Sc
lection. Often the birds are SO exhausted
after the dances that they can hardly fly,
lying painting on the rocks.

FREDERIC HOPT, condemned to
death for murder in Utah, being
given his choice according to the
Law of the State between being hung
or shot, chose the latter, and was
shot dead by five men with rifles
four miles from the city of Salt Lake,
in the yard of the penitentiary on
the 18th inst. On the night of July
3, 1880, he deliberately murdered
John F. Turner for money, with an
ak, while driving a team for Turne :,
and, in company with one jack
Emmerson, stole his money and his
team, buried the body, and made his
escape. Turner was the son of
Sheriff John III. Turner who pro-
t 'cted Hopt from being lynched

delay of justice was caused by a
succession of successful appeals to the
supreme court, he having b en- tried

screamed and ran ont of the house,
the services were suspended, and con-
fusion ran riot, until several gentle
men put Mcclure out, when the SER
vices were resumed. The most in
comprehensive part of this whole
disgraceful transaction is that Me-
Clure is white man, claims to be a

spectacle citizen. He ought to have
been taken out and ducked in a

THE scheme OF Malone to secure a
seat in the United States Senate
again to misrepresent the old Do
minion in that body, is worthy of
the man and Of the republican party
in Virginia. He has no hope of secur-
ing majority of the State Senate.
He will more especially try to secure
the return of majority to the House
of Representatives, and throw out. or
remove, enough members of that
body, on various protexts, to give
himself Il majority on joint ballot,
and secure his reelection to the
United States Senate. This species
of tactics is. a burlesque on popular
government, an outrage upon the
spirit Of our institutions, and should
condemn, to everlasting infamy, the
wretch who should dare to attempt
its preparation. Are the American

The following telegram from Chic
ago showsthat "the rebel brigadiersp
in the South are not alone in publicly
and openly denying his rights to the
man and brother" 1t furnishes
interesting reading to the colored
folks:
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE twelfth
subsidiary High Court of the Ancient
Order OF Foresters has concluded its
labors here. In the closing session,
the most important question before
the court was the framing of an
answer to the Supreme Court OF
Foresters In England anent the
eablegram received ordering the
admission of col0red men into the
association. Mr.. Gardner Washburn,
chairman of the committee APP
pointed Tuesday last to consider this
question, handed in q voluminous
report. This took a strong stand
against the position of the English
High Court. I'VE would give the
High Court of England to under
stand" said the report, that this,
the American branch, will not be
controlled contrary to the general
laws of the order and the best in
terests Of the Foresters as q body.
Any c0ercive act, such as the adj
mission of negroes into the order,
viii be fought tooth and nail, and
we warn the High Court of England
that If they continue to claim powers
not granted them by demonstration,
we may separate and sunder our
selves from such Supreme Court, as
our fathers did from the all-claiming
English Ministry in the reign
of George ILL.," Several heated
speeches were delivered, when by
unanimous vote, the report was
accepted and the Secretary instructed
to forward copy of the same to the
Supreme Court of Foresters in Lon
don. Minneapolis was chosen as the
next place of meeting.
No doubt every one of the repub-
lican members of this organization
have been bowling, or are ready to
howl, over the Glenn bill in the
Georgia Legislature which prohibits
what both the white and black races
in the South don't want: the mixing
of white and colored children in the
public schools. "Wasburn' is a
mighty good republican name, and
we would not be surprised if he
claimed to be of that persuasion.
